Answer 1

Answer:

$1,449,068.80

Explanation:

Book value on purchase                    $5,100,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation       $4,218,720

(5,100,000*(0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152)                    

Book value on sales                            $881,280

Salvage value of paint   $1,600,000

Book value of as set      $881,280  

Gain on disposal            $718,720

Tax on gain on disposal = $718,720 * 21% = $150,931.20

After tax cash flow = $1,600,000 - $150,931.20

After tax cash flow = $1,449,068.80
